Abstract
Objective: To investigate risk factors for readmission and the implications of same-day discharge for surgical management of velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI).
Design: Retrospective cohort.
Setting: Multi-institutional/national.
Patients and participants: Patients who underwent VPI-correcting surgery (n = 4479) were identified in the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program Pediatric database from 2012-2021.
Main outcomes measure(s): 30-day unplanned readmission.
Results: A total of 3878 (86.6%) patients were admitted inpatient following surgical intervention, while 601 (13.4%) were discharged on the same day. Thirty-day readmission rate was 1.7% across all patients. Based on multivariate logistic regression, patient factors identified as significant predictors of 30-day readmission included ASA class 4 (OR 11.22 [95% CI 1.01-124.91]; p = 0.049), steroid use (OR 7.30 [95% CI 2.22-23.97]; p = 0.001), and gastrointestinal disease (OR 2.48 [95% CI 1.22-5.00]; p = 0.012). Upon interaction analysis, patients with cardiac or neuromuscular disease who were discharged on the same day of surgery were associated with a higher readmission rate than those admitted to the hospital (cardiac disease RR 6.72 [95% CI 1.41-32.06]; p = 0.017) and (neuromuscular disease RR 12.39 [95% CI 1.64-93.59]; p = 0.015).
Conclusions: Approximately 90% of VPI-correcting procedures are completed inpatient nationwide. Cardiac and/or neuromuscular disease significantly increased the patients' readmission risk when discharged on the same day of surgery. The inpatient setting should remain the best practice as adequate resources are available to mitigate life-threatening complications.
